ah the Matt Newman story. I have seen the pictures. I think it was in a Bass West article. Very impresive and I have no reason to doubt it. I have had a couple days where I found numerous big bass stacked up and we had epic days. Not nearly as many as Newman caught but enough to know that his day was possible. The pictures are out there.

Raul! Did you instruct that bass to "turn your head and cough" while taking this picture?

If work didn't get in the way I would on Castias today and hope to be there tomorrow, it's that time of year.

The wolf pack days on Casitas are gone for awhile, still possible to have 50 lb+ five bass limits however.

Matt Newman's catch was documented.

PS: Google Matt Newman, his article is in TT with pics.

It's a satchel.

It's a European carryall. 

What serious big bass fisherman doesn't take a camera?

I don 't.

I 'm not supersttious or anything like that but I 've found a trend, when I take the camera I don 't catch anything worth taking a picture of, when I don 't take the camera is when I catch something worth taking a picture but I got no camera. so, the camera satays at home.

I have the same luck. Camera brought = fish caught not worth photographing, most of the time.  There's always the cell phone camera. ;D

yes, to carry a whip, tools, and the occasional gold skull, not day to day items...

Dream about it?

I had a day like this just this weekend!

50 ten pound bass on 50 consecutive casts. Then I rode my unicorn home.

It happened, the pictures are out there.  Buy my sponsors bait. :

IB, you gimme too much credit, don 't know how to operate them cell phones properly ( can barely dial ) and you want me to get a cell phone with camera  , c 'mon ! . Last time I "played" with my Nextel buttons I erased all my directory. 

What serious big bass fisherman doesn't take a camera?

Sometimes having a camera isn't even enough.

I weighed, measured, photographed and released my two largest bigmouth bass,

feeling happy and proud that I'd have them forever.

The negatives were on a 36-exposure film roll, so they remained in the camera

until the roll was fully exposed. Then, a couple weeks later we got caught in a quick downpour,

and by the time I realized my camera case was lying on the boat floor,

rainwater had seeped into the camera and obliterated the negatives :'(

I hope your not confusing Matt Newman with me. He was using a Huddleston which is a direct competitor of mine. By me saying I have seen the pics should add a little integrety to the story becuase he caught the fish on a competitors bait and I have absolutly nothing to gain.

I remember the title of the article. it was "California dreamin" and it was in a bass west magazine. There were many pictures. if I remember right there were 3 boats with full live wells and there was atleat one pic with several guys holding up numerous big bass. I dont think they held up all 28 but there was a bunch of them. He also took some greif for keeping over his limit and holding so many big bass in the wells but as far as know all the bass were fine. They were all released healthy and none were found later.

I am sure if anybody wanted to see the pics bad enough they could order a back issue of bass west.

I read the story and have to give the guys the benefit of the doubt.  33 years ago...am I that frigging old...I caught three nine pound bass on three consecutive casts so I know incredible and unbelievable things can happen.
